IMPROVEMENT IN WATER SPRlNKLING nozzuas.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 165,111, dated June 29,1875;

. June 6, 1874.

l 0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES H. MILLER, of the city of Buffalo, in thecounty of Erie and State of New York, have invented a new and usefulImprovement in Water-Sprinkler Nozzles; and I do hereby declare that thefollowing is a full and exact description of the same, reference beinghad to the annexed drawings making a part of this specification.-

This invention relates more particularly to nozzles of pipes attached togarden-hose or street-sprinklers; and the invention consists in aconducting-tube, a center, and a movable closely-fitting outer cover forsaid conducting-tube and center, said center having a series of holes oropenings, in combination. with corresponding holes or openings in themovable outer cover, which, on being turned, allows a single jet ofwater, or'fine spray, or a et and spray combined, to issue, ashereinafter described.

In the accompanying drawing, letters of like name and kind refer to likeparts in each of the figures.

Figure 1 is a vertical section, showing the conductingtube, the center,and the movable closely-fitting outer cover of said tube and center, andthe position of the center and movable outer cover when set or turnedfor sprinkling. Fig. 2shows the position of the same when set or turnedfor a jet. Fig. 3 is the perforated top of the movable outer cover andthe nut holding the same in position. Fig. 4 represents theinner view ofthe elongation of center, with openings or holes in the bottom of saidcenter. Fig. 5 represents the conducting-tube, the center, and theopenlngs or holes in said center. Fig. 6 is a vertical section, showingthe conducting-tube, center, and the movable closely-fitting outer coverof said tube and center, and the position of the center and movableouter cover when set or turned to throw a jet and spray combined.

A represents the tube for throwing the jet; B, the center; o, c, and K,the openings or holes in said center; 1" and m, the openings or holesinthe inner part of center, corresponding to openings or holes 0 and Kon its outer surface; L, the movable outer cover, closely fitting thecenter B. i

Placing the openings or holes 0 and K of center B respectively oppositeto the openapplication filed ings or holes a and s in the movable outercover L, as shown in Fig. 1, the water or fluid is excluded from tube A,enters the cavity in the upper part of the movable outer cover L, forcesits way through the perforations in its top, and is thrown oil as spray.The course of the water is indicated by the arrows in said Fig. 1.

Turning the movable outer cover L to the right until the opening or hole0 in center is placed opposite to the cavity ain the movable outer coverL, the water or fluid enters through said opening or hole 0, the cavityat of the movable outer cover L, and through opening or hole 0 incenter, the tube A, and is thrown oft as a jet only. The course of theWater is indicated by the arrows in Fig. 2.

Turning the movable outer cover L to the right until the openings orholes K and 0 of center B are respectively placed opposite to theopenings or holes 8 and n in the movable outer cover L, the water orfluid enters both tube A and the upper cavity of movable outer coxer L,and is thrown off as spray and a jet combined; The course of the Wateris indicated by the arrowsin Fig. 6.

Revolving the outer cover L to any inter-' mediate position between theopenings orholes in center B, an entire and complete shut-off of thewater or fluid is effected from both tube A and cavity L in the outercover, and the water or fluid is confined to the hose or pipe from.which the tube and sprinkler receive their supply.

WVhat I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent,is

1. The center B, in combination with tube A, substantially as and forthe purposes described.

2. The movable closely-fittin g outer cover L for said center B and tubeA, substantially as and for the purposes specified.

3. The'combination of the openings or holes 0, 0, and K in the center Bwith the openings or holes a and s and the cavity a: in the outer coverL, for the purposes described.

4. The movable outer cover L and center B- as a shutoff, when arrangedand combined substantially as described.
